Trump was questioned again today (Beijing Time September 21) about the Bagram Base in Afghanistan.
Reporter: Are you ruling out the possibility of sending ground troops to reclaim (Afghanistan's) Bagram Base?
Trump: We won't talk about this. We are now discussing the issue of Afghanistan, and we hope to return it, and we hope to return it as soon as possible, immediately. If they don't return it, you will know what I will do.
[Witty] Comments: Trump's remarks are yet another of his usual "intimidation tactics." Every time, he makes tough statements, showing a tough stance, as if not doing things his way would lead to a complete upheaval, but in the end, it's usually all sound and fury, nothing more, ending up with "TACO" (compromise). On the issue of the Bagram Base in Afghanistan, he is being mysterious, neither stating whether he would send ground troops nor threatening action if it is not returned. This kind of behavior, relying on pressure to highlight his presence and pursue personal interests, is merely political showmanship, something the international community has already become accustomed to.
